MENTOR's SafetyNET Co-Sponsored by LifeLock and Newsweek
Business Wire, Sept 19, 2007
TEMPE, Ariz. -- LifeLock CEO Todd Davis announced today that the leader in Identity Theft Prevention will join Newsweek as co-sponsor of the SafetyNET program run by MENTOR, the leading national advocate and resource for mentoring.
Championed by MENTOR and created by Congress, SafetyNET provides mentoring organizations across the country access to nationwide FBI fingerprint searches. It is frequently a more thorough background search than what is otherwise available, ensuring a higher standard for mentor screening and a more effective means of protecting children. The generous support of LifeLock and Newsweek will help sustain SafetyNET and expand its visibility through national media exposure.
"We are extremely proud to be partnering with organizations like MENTOR and Newsweek,' said Davis. "Protecting children has always been a focus for our company and this opportunity allows us to support an important organization which fills a very important void in our society. LifeLock will be there to help MENTOR and SafetyNET in any way they need us."
LifeLock (www.lifelock.com) helps consumers to render their personal information useless to thieves, backing up its service with a million-dollar guarantee. Located in a secure facility in Tempe, Arizona, LifeLock is a private company backed by Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers as well as Bessemer Venture Partners. The company recently won an American Business Award for the Best Radio Advertising Campaign and was a finalist for 10 other awards, including Best New Company and Best New Product/Service.
Founded in 1933, Newsweek provides comprehensive coverage of national and international affairs, business, society, science and technology, and arts and entertainment. Headquartered in New York, Newsweek has 20 bureaus located in the U.S. and around the globe. In addition to its U.S. edition, Newsweek publishes three English-language editions overseas and is the only news magazine with eight weekly local-language editions.

Newsweek is also on the World Wide Web at www.Newsweek.com.
"MENTOR's critical challenge is to match caring, responsible adults with the 15 million young people here in America who are still in need of mentors. Partnerships like these will help us make that happen. We appreciate and are grateful to LifeLock and Newsweek for their commitment and generosity," stated James E. Duffy, former President of ABC Television and founding MENTOR Board Member.
